Good for taking out other dinos
I have a taming pen 2 walls high and if you have an argy it saves from needing bolas. Drop it in the pen and trank there
Great low-level tame. Spawn frequently on south end of island. Use a crossbow with tranq arrow and shoot them in the head, instant knockout for levels 1-25. They usually spawn near diplodaucus and paracer, so bring one down for some quick tame prime meat. Once you have a saddle, use it for fast movement. They run faster than most anything so you don't have to wear any armor. I advise wearing cloth because its lightweight. Attacks fast, so you only really have to increase weight and stamina, or speed if you're like me and want to cross the map very quickly without beds.
These guys are usually in groups. With a bola it's an easy tame, when tamed it is a early killing machine
Fun fact: alpha creatures can't harvest corpses to heal themselves or be damaged by wild animals, so only tames can kill alphas.
You would think that you could hide near a brontos legs when you are being chased by an alpha raptor or carno, but this is a bad idea since you will automatically take stomping damage once the bronto gets mad at the alpha raptor or carno, and the alpha raptor or carno will continue to chase you since it has no reason to go after the bronto since wild brontos cant damage alphas.
People really are writing tips about running from alpha raptors when you can get killed in 3 bites or less if youre not riding a mount and they can outrun any land creature. That's funny cause any mount thats not smaller than a carno can kill an alpha raptor, including trikes.
Raptors are like hired killers you hire them by feeding them and they kill things for you
Steps to tame the "bob killer"( raptor) are:-
Take bolas
Take a knockout weapon
Bola the raptor
Knock out the raptor
Feed it meat
Raptor is tamed!
You can also aggro the raptor on any herbivore( weak ones like parasaur, turtle or dodo) and wait for the raptor to kill it. Then do the above given steps. The raptor will be tamed much more easily as its health is decreased by fighting the herbivore.

As a beginner, how do I tame one EASILY? Level 1-10 raptor
Watch out for aberrant raptors! I ran into them multiple times... They jump onto you and trap you. They killed me so much times 😭
Easily the best way to kill them is to just get a pike and hit their sides. (Unless, of course, you have a gun…)
Get a high level herb then attack
5he first time I found this guy, I ran into a therizino and the raptor hit 85 and they fought to the death, the raptor fell asleep and I timed it.
Don't park it in the boat to tame it
Taking these are easy just make two wooden pillars and 2 ladders available in early game raptors can’t break wood so lead one or a pack kill the low levels and use tranq or slingshot if u don’t have those just bola them and hit them with a bat. (Tipp: if you don’t have meat go to beach and kill do so lystros or even carbos mine with a pickaxe) maybe you can tame three ? Then put the meat in the inventory and skadoosh.
Best way to tame a raptor in my opinion!
There are easy steps, but some preparations must be made. Have around five bolas, as you might miss the first throws. I like to kill stegosaurus or sarcos for prime meat to speed up taming. Bring narcotics as well, depending on the level you might need them.
1) Find your raptor. If you’re just starting out, I recommend attempting to tame a lower level.
2) Aggro said raptor. It’s better to do this on your feet so you can bola it easier.
3) Bola the raptor and knock it out. You can do this with your fists, a wooden bat, or tranq arrows.
4) Place the prime meat (or normal meat) and narcotics in the inventory of the raptor. It should tame up and be ready to go!
Watch out for any dangerous predators nearby, like other raptors or tickle chickens! Have fun with your new pal.
